Study: Methane From Oil, Gas Activities Causes 'Radiative Forcing' In Atmosphere

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The journal Science on June 25 published an article authored by researchers from 13 universities, joined by others from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and environmental groups, which concludes that methane emissions across the supply chain of the oil and gas industry in the United States "results in roughly the same radiative forcing" as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over a 20-year time period.
